Key Points

The author describes a personal project evolving into a “full computing stack” that combines identity/trust, decentralized chat, a local AI model, an IDE, and components like a browser engine/runtime.
The central design goal is to integrate identity, execution, and communication so they are “AI native” and not added as separate layers.
A key challenge highlighted is maintaining clean boundaries between rapidly evolving components, particularly preventing identity and trust logic from leaking into runtime/client behavior.
The post invites others to share experiences building similarly “vertically integrated” systems without turning them into a monolith.
The project repository is linked for readers interested in the Bastion stack approach and its lower-level experimentation.

I’ve been working on a personal project that ended up becoming a kind of full computing stack:

identity / trust protocol
decentralized chat
local AI model
IDE
and now experimenting with lower-level pieces like a browser engine / runtime

The idea is to have identity, execution, and communication all tied together instead of layered on top of each other. Focusing that every component is ai native as well.

One thing I’m running into is how to keep boundaries clean between components when everything is evolving at the same time — especially when things like identity and trust start leaking into runtime / client logic.

Curious if anyone has worked on similarly “vertically integrated” systems and how you avoided everything collapsing into a monolith.
